Reflections: Aeris Gainsborough


Fanfiction by Jessie
    He was the first thing I ever saw in Holy.
    I was a child, just learning how to see,
    and he shone so brightly, in my heart
    I named him Hoshi-no-niisan, brother of the stars.
    I saw him many times after that, strong and brave
    and beautiful in the heart of Holy;
    I told the silent image all my secrets,
    and he became my brother, my friend, my hero.
    I set myself to become like him,
    strong and brave, so I would be worthy to meet him.

    It is some wonder I didn't recognize him at first.
    This brave soldier, my Hoshi-no-niisan.
    And I have seen him in his strength, sometimes,
    not that he'll ever admit it to himself.
    My hero, my brother, my childhood friend...
    I swore, I'd yet make him worthy of himself.

    I tried to protect him from his other half.
    I knew none of them were ready to face Jenova.
    He reached me just before Sephiroth,
    already falling prey to the dark man's influence.
    He would have killed me if Sephiroth hadn't done it first...

    And I pray to the Breath of the Earth that my brother is okay.
